I left them with instructions that my earrings be cleaned. Upon returning (the second time) my earrings still had traces of this white material in the creases and folds. I didn't realize what happened until later; In my opinion Kramer made a copy/mold of my earrings without my permission. I had this experience about 8 years ago and the staff were off-putting and rude. At the time, I did not have access to Yelp. So, when I received a promotional flyer not long ago I thought, now is as good a time as any to share my story through YELP!

Decided to come in and check out the store, have passed it a few times during our walks downtown…read more The center of the front shop area has a bunch of bins and boxes. They're going through some structuring of their Center displays. The owner, Brendan. He's had the shop here for 38 years. That's quite a long standing. I got five antique rings resized. $120 to resize each. Brendan said he should be able to finish them within a week, even though they're quite busy. He said that they will call me when it's done, but I can also check in if they don't call me in a week. The 5 rings fit perfectly now and look great. $600 to resize five rings, at a cost of $120 per ring for the resizing. He said two rings cracked during the laser process he used to resize them, was able to fix and solder them up to look perfect. Happy with his work.

This is super overdue, thanks to the pandemic and life changes I've been a bit distracted (sorry!),…read morebut I went to Brendan with a unique situation where my late grandmother had given me a nugget of gold to make a ring out of it for my future wife (yeah, I know). I found Elements on yelp and checked out their website where I saw a video of the process they go through to make jewelry so I dropped in. Brendan was very kind and informative and made a process I knew nothing about really easy to understand. I gave him an idea of what we wanted and dropped off the raw materials I had on me to get my now fiancee's engagement ring and even my own wedding band. Since it was a unique gift I asked if I could come in to document the process to which he agreed. He first sent over mock-ups of the designs and answered any questions I had then had me come in when he was ready to melt down my "grandma-gold". That experience was pretty cool and huge thanks to Brendan for accommodating me. A week later it was ready for pick up and was perfect. It's been a while but thank you again Brendan and hope you and your loved ones were safe since I saw you last.

However his son Armen has taken over and is just as delightful. We've purchased several pieces of jewelry from them and have never been disappointed. I love the ambiance of the store; there is a small sitting room and bar that we tend to partake in when visiting. It's always a very chill atmosphere and you never feel pressured to buy anything but you most definitely will want to buy something. They even had to recently order something for my husband and it came in within 48 hours. I can't say enough about them and we will continue to use them as our jewelers!

Last summer, my now-fiance and I were looking around to purchase an engagement ring for myself. We…read morewent to Brilliant Earth, in Birmingham, which had a lot of nice rings; however, when I emailed them follow-up questions, they didn't respond for over a week (apparently my email ended up in the sales lady's spam inbox ...). During that time, I found Metals in Time online, and stopped by the showroom. I worked with Emma to choose a ring for myself and also a middle stone. Sergio, the owner, was very helpful as well, and had me try on multiple rings. The one I liked was shaped differently then I preferred, so he customized the ring for me. For a 1-kt. (lab diamond) ring plus the matching wedding band, he offered us a very reasonable price. We liked Metals in Time so much that we had my fiance's custom wedding ring designed there too. He thought he wanted white gold, until he tried on a platinum ring and preferred the heaviness of that one more. He wanted a ring with lab diamonds and lab emeralds, and he brought Sergio a picture of a similar one online he liked. Sergio was able to design it to his specifications, and gave me a pretty good price on it, as well; I know platinum rings can sometimes be expensive. The best part is that Metals in Time is always reachable via text - we go in every six months to get our rings cleaned, as part of their warranty (the smaller stones are under warranty, as long as you stop by every six months), and I always text beforehand to ensure that the store will be open. Highly recommend this store if you are looking to purchase engagement or wedding jewelry. They also have a nice selection of watches and other jewelry, I've noticed.

Botched Watch Repair & Terrible Customer Service: TL/DR find…read morea different store if you are looking to have your watch repaired. In April I dropped my watch off here for repairs; the watch was running slow and the crown needed replacing. I was told that it would be ready in 3-4 weeks, which would allow me to retrieve my watch before I move out-of-state in June. However, the repair took longer than expected due to parts sourcing. While this was an understandable delay, I was not informed of any delays or repair updates; I had to continuously text and call the store asking for an ETA for the watch to be repaired. When I finally received the watch in July (two months after I had been told it would be ready), the watch was in a worse state than when I had dropped it off: the chronometer is offset by 2-3 seconds, the lower hand has fallen off of the face, and the self-winding mechanism is making scratching noises inside that watch that were not previously present. As I now live in Tennessee I contacted the store to ask for a refund: they refused without seeing the product (which I am unable to hand deliver and do not feel comfortable mailing them due to their poor customer service and botched previous repair) and told me "you have a warranty for this". For context, I've had this watch repaired multiple times over the years due to damage received while deployed or on exercise with the Marines; this is hands down the worst experience I've had with a repair shop.

Apparently he's there every other Saturday until November - then it will be every Saturday. May want to call ahead and ask if you're driving from long distances. Don't be alarmed by the densely populated table of wood - each ring, pair of earrings, or necklace is 100% unique and comes from recycled/rescued urban trees. So each piece also has a story (like the tree that fell on his house) and a location. Michigan, represent. The rings go for $25 and are worth every penny. They are sturdy and gorgeously 'rustic' while still being artful and elegant. He makes them in a variety of sizes. The larger necklace pieces run $60 a pop (please don't buy the one I'm lusting after! I'm just waiting for my next paycheck...). He tells me he can also do custom orders of plugs (for the ol' earlobe stretchers out there) but he doesn't have any in stock (since everyone wants different sizes in a different look). His site has stunning photographs of his collections and gives you an idea of his range of work. And the mood it can set. He also does furniture, culinary tools, and leatherwork, oh my.
